Jerry Addington's Sarracenia

Ares

Ares is a vigorous and bold red hued cultivar from the early days of my breeding efforts. It grows to medium height with large pitchers that erupt in profusion early in the season, making a stunning show that holds up very well through the summer. This cross is almost certainly S. x redman on one side but the other half is uncertain. S. flava or S. x Doreen’s Colossus could be likely culprits.

Kilimanjaro

Redman

Prometheus

This plant was picked up for me off the seedling table at California Carnivores back in the early 1990’s. It is a beauty and is a mainstay of my minor Okee hybridization efforts. In a big pot it becomes quite massive.

Simone

Serengeti Sunset

White Wonder

alata Dark Streak

Opakapaka

minor #55 x flava

Emerald City

Jessica

This plant is a tall cultivar of alata x leucophylla parentage. I consider it to be an elegant piece of vegetation. A regal beauty but with an alternate personality betrayed by an abundance of the prettiest pink flowers this side of S. x rosea.

(oreophila 'sand mountain' x flava)

Big Dots

Dana's Delight x Prometheus

This cross has given me a number of really pretty pink plants. This plant will have a permanent place in my collection. Graceful, pink, vigorous, and quite lovely.

Isabelle

Isabelle is a short red looks like a tall red S. flava but scaled down. It makes neat small clumps and combines well with smaller Sarracenia and other carnies in planters. Even though its short, it shows well and will always grab a voyeur's attention.

Goliath

Proteus

When I started breeding Sarracenia back in the 1990’s I had nothing like the selection of forms and colors that reside in the collection now. There were, however, a few fine plants and two of these were S. x Redman, a S. rosea x flava hybrid and S. oreophila “sand mountain” x flava. Genes from both plants run through a lot of my hybrids. When I crossed these two plants together they produced a lot of pretty, mostly medium height offspring in a wide range of colors and shapes. The best plants were selected from hundreds of seedlings and are now named for the moons of Neptune.

#1: Proteus has wide, slightly wavy, yellow traps veined red. The tubes are red with a pointy mouth. A bold shape and high contrast mix of yellow and red combine to make a very attractive hood.

Nereid

When I started breeding Sarracenia back in the 1990’s I had nothing like the selection of forms and colors that reside in the collection now. There were, however, a few fine plants and two of these were S. x Redman, a S. rosea x flava hybrid and S. oreophila “sand mountain” x flava. Genes from both plants run through a lot of my hybrids.

The best plants were selected from hundreds of seedlings and are now named for the moons of Neptune.

#2: Nereid is clumpy with a dense pitcher presentation. Red tubes with yellow tops that are strongly marked with red veins. This cultivar has a very tidy growth habit with a gorgeous contrast of coloring.

Triton

When I started breeding Sarracenia back in the 1990’s I had nothing like the selection of forms and colors that reside in the collection now. There were, however, a few fine plants and two of these were S. x Redman, a S. rosea x flava hybrid and S. oreophila “sand mountain” x flava. Genes from both plants run through a lot of my hybrids.

The best plants were selected from hundreds of seedlings and are now named for the moons of Neptune.

#3 Triton is nicely veined on the outside of the tube and heavily veined on the outside of the wide hood. Inside the veining almost obliterates the background yellow.

Larissa

When I started breeding Sarracenia back in the 1990’s I had nothing like the selection of forms and colors that reside in the collection now. There were, however, a few fine plants and two of these were S. x Redman, a S. rosea x flava hybrid and S. oreophila “sand mountain” x flava. Genes from both plants run through a lot of my hybrids.

#5 Larissa is a green cultivar of medium height with a wide hood bearing a S. flava rugelii like red throat mark out of which radiates a pattern of wide red veins.

Halimede

When I started breeding Sarracenia back in the 1990’s I had nothing like the selection of forms and colors that reside in the collection now. There were, however, a few fine plants and two of these were S. x Redman, a S. rosea x flava hybrid and S. oreophila “sand mountain” x flava. Genes from both plants run through a lot of my hybrids. When I crossed these two plants together they produced a lot of pretty, mostly medium height offspring in a wide range of colors and shapes. The best plants were selected from hundreds of seedlings and are now named for the moons of Neptune.

#6 Halimede is a taller than most of its siblings. The pitchers are red with yellow and red veins. The entire plant becomes redder as the foliage ages.

Naiad

When I started breeding Sarracenia back in the 1990’s I had nothing like the selection of forms and colors that reside in the collection now. There were, however, a few fine plants and two of these were S. x Redman, a S. rosea x flava hybrid and S. oreophila “sand mountain” x flava. Genes from both plants run through a lot of my hybrids.

#7 Naiad is a wide hooded yellow cultivar with S. flava ornata type veining and a striking red cross in the throat.

Desdina

There were, however, a few fine plants and two of these were S. x Redman, a S. rosea x flava hybrid and S. oreophila “sand mountain” x flava. Genes from both plants run through a lot of my hybrids.

#8 Desdina is a mostly red cultivar with an aggressive forward thrusting hood that starts yellow with heavy red veining that ages to all red.
